A valuable resource
Anton Pegis revised translation of part of the Summa Contra Gentiles and part of the Summa Theologica is very valuable indeed. The older "English Dominican Fathers" translation (actually the work of Fr Laurence Shapcote OP) is a bit too literal and is sometimes very difficult to read. Pegis simply revised and developed Shapcote's work to make it more accessible; if you don't have Latin but want to get as close as possible to Aquinas' own text, this is an irreplaceable tool. I've used it in my lectures for some years, and have always found it excellent.
